HispaVeg: a new online vegetation plot database for Spain

We describe a new online database, named HispaVeg, which currently holds data from 2663 vegetation plots of Spanish woodlands, scrublands and grasslands. Unlike other similar databases, a detailed description of the structure is stored with the floristic data of each plot (i.e., number and physiognomy of the vertical layers, cover values for each layer).Most of the vegetation plots are large rectangles (400 to 2000 square meters) with an average of 34 species per plot. The survey dates range from 1956 to present, with most of the records between 1964 and 1994. The elevation of the plots ranges from 0 to 2880, with most of the plots between 300 and 1500 m. HispaVeg is freely available to the scientific community. Users can query the online database, view printable reports for each plot and download spreadsheet-like raw data for subsets of vegetation plots.

De plagios, planos y vistas urbanas: Nueva Mantua Carpetanorum, de Pieter van den Berge

Uno de los méritos de este plano es el constituir la primera copia, hasta ahora conocida, del Mantua Carpetanorum sive Matritum, Urbs Regia, del portugués Pedro Texeira, editado en Amberes en 1656 (1) . Otro, el de formar parte de una de las primeras compilaciones de estampas españolas realizadas a finales del siglo XVII, el Theatrum hispaniae exhibens regni urbes, villas ac viridaria magis illustria. Plano y compilación son obra del dibujante, grabador y editor holandés Pieter van den Berge
